Want to get AMD Turion on 17" . Only in my range is HP dv 8000, but it comes
with only ATI 128 MB. I am planning to get 64 bit Vista sometimes next year
(or next, or next..), but not sure if it is enough video. Mostly just
office, web, some publisher and Photoshop.
Thanks for any advice

No. Vista will be (when and if it is released) the most demanding operating
system, as far as video display is concerned, that Microsoft has ever
released. If I were buying a new system, desktop or laptop, and intended to
run Vista on it, I would go with a 256 MB video card and system RAM of at
least 1.0 GB.
But, I would save my money because Microsoft has delayed the late Fall of
2006 release of Vista. Personally, I don't see it being released in a
consumer version until sometime in late 2007 or even early 2008.

The February beta seems to run fine in a virtual machine with far less
hardware than you claim to be necessary.

And I know people who are running Windows XP on a system with just a total
of 128 MB of RAM and a video chip, not a dedicated card, and it does run.
Of course, you can't actually ever do anything on the system once it finally
boots to the desktop, but XP does run.
The point is that Windows Vista and the display wracking graphics it uses
will be a tough load on underpowered machines. The general consensus among
the popular publications is that a minimum (a BARE minimum) of 256 MB of
system RAM and a dedicated video card would be required to run the operating
system with anything approaching snappiness.

Please log in for more thread options OK, so now you are giving out system requirements on something that does not
even exist in close to final form.
FWIW I'll bet that it will run just fine on 16MB of shared memory.
